This was my second Cirque du Soleil show. The first, Mystere, was at a local arena in my hometown and was phenomenal for “back home”. “O” however, was jaw dropping!!! It is amazing the difference a permanent stage/venue makes for a show of this magnitude. We were lucky enough to acquire 5th row tickets!!! We could see the drops of water on the performers’ faces as they emerged out of the unbelievable retracting floor/pool. I would say that this show is for everybody. The show is complimented by a beautifully composed orchestra performance. You can look to the upper left of the stage and actually see the performers with their instruments behind a dark, back-lit screen of sorts. If you look to the upper right of the stage, you can see the singers. Acrobatics, synchronized swimming, diving, dancing and comedy all make up the show. The costuming was vibrant and unique. I am still amazed at some of the dives that were made from ~50 feet above the stage/pool. I do have to read how they created and operate that stage because I am just in awe. A few words to the wise: bring a sweater. I don’t know if it was the size of the venue or the distance we were to the water on stage, but it was a tad bit chilly. Also, it looked as if the people in rows 1-3 were getting splashed a little bit. We didn’t catch any water in the 5th row, but those who sprung for 1st row seats were wiping their brows!! I would love to see this show for a second time, maybe even third or fourth!!! There is just so much going on all over the stage and any given moment, I’m sure if I saw the show again it would be a whole new experience! A+++
